13:47For this176 is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have appointed177 you to be a light178 for the Gentiles, to bring salvation179 to the ends of the earth.’ ”180
Footnotes
- 176 Here οὕτως (houtōs) is taken to refer to what follows, the content of the quotation, as given for this verse by οὕτω/οὕτως 2.
- 177 τίθημι 3.a has “τιθέναι τινὰ εἴς τι place/appoint someone to or for (to function as) someth.… Ac 13:47.” This is a double accusative construction of object (“you”) and complement (“a light”).
- 178 Paul alludes here to the language of the Servant in Isaiah, pointing to Isa 42:6; 49:6. He and Barnabas do the work of the Servant in Isaiah.
- 179 Grk “that you should be for salvation,” but more simply “to bring salvation.”
- 180 An allusion to Isa 42:6 and 49:6. The expression the ends of the earth recalls Luke 3:6 and Acts 1:8. Paul sees himself and Barnabas as carrying out the commission of Luke 24:27. (See 2 Cor 6:2, where servant imagery also appears concerning Paul’s message.)
